think it's about 15p a kilowatt hour? something like that. How can folk not be making a big profit? It costs like £5 to grow each ounce, if that, cannabis is one of the bigger cons of the past few decades.

yeah youre probably right. but at 27p for me itd be over 200 quid extra for the full cycle which seems absolutely ridiculous. 600w no fans included in that price.

Im only 9 days in today and started to make me smell as i brush past em happy dayz ay the misses is on to me already lol gotta put up with it for another 7 weeks so i think i need to start diggin a hole lol!!

 

[gaztoth]

is it not the smell of your smoke mate how old is your filter?my auto haze just showed her bit so im happy as it said 90%fem on the packet lol

 

[dura72]

nah mate its the grow that causing it, the filters about 2 years old, i should have replaced it a while ago but as i wasnt growin in a house where the smell was an issue i didnt bother, only two weeks to go and when i get the cash in im gonna spend on a few up-graded items to deal with it all. i think the main problem was that the smell was gettin into the wall cavity, which leads to a ceiling cavity that spread across the length and breadth of my flat landing, this means it get out into the communal hallway. but ive gaffa taped up every vent and gap i can, covered various places in air freshener oil and put a large curtain over the door into the grow area, its all small changes ive done but with any luck they should add up and reduce the problem.

ive got a yankee candle goin in my living room and it does help with keepin the 'in-house' smell down but like i said i think the problem was primarily the wall cavity issue but hopefully all the wee things ive done will sort it out. worse case scenario im gonna get ona gel and stuff it into my wall cavity.

Not sure where you're coming to £200 more, but yeah, that is a bit ore expensive. Works out at an extra £100 for a 3 month cycle with a 600w, you're still nly looking at around £10 an ounce though.

 

[dura72]

after taping up all the little holes in the cavity and making sure the ducting is taped up tighter and even sutting off a couple of passive vents it appears ive actually helped the grow room out by achieving a chamber that has negative pressure thru fan suction, it would appear that the temps are sitting at 28 or 29 c with all the doors shut. wish to fuck i'd thought of this before hand. ah well as long as its workin now then theres no worries.

Surely the smell from yer bawz masks everything

 

[dura72]

awrite scrote rash. u still robbing unsuspecting members of the public. trading standards still chasing you?

 

[tip top toker]

Time to dismantle the veg cabinet a bit more. scrog has nabbed all of the space i created, good thing it's not a hot bulb, it's pretty much been consumed.

 

[dura72]

ahve jist got a wee microscope today, fucki tiny wee thing but its fuckin superb, 60x s magnification and its got blue and white led lights; it says its for checking bank notes apparently. thing is ive never really bothered with trichome checking but i was playing about with it and ive noticed about 30% of trics are amber, now theses plants are only 6 weeks tomorrow( i think!!) and that seem helluva quick. whats the recommended optimum amber percentage for harvest?

shit man it depends on if it's indica or sativa and what kind of high you like. I personally take indicas at about 25% amber and sativas at no more than 10%.

 

[dura72]

hi beansly you horrible little fucker, long time mate where you been? jail? selling family members kidneys?.i just checked my other plants and it sonly the 'Church' thats showin amber so far. think i'll give it a week and then chop it, i'll give the others a bit longer. the church is a very 'indica' real short and squat but the others ,2 ak48s and a black jack are more sativa especially the balckjack.
